Thanks for sharing the project! I ran a few tests on it, but first I want you to have a clear understanding of the differences between our two computers.
This
chart shows the power benchmarks for your laptop's i7-7500U CPU and my brand new desktop's i9-9900K, which was built specifically for video editing. The 3rd column is the CPU I had for 5 years (also built for video work), and I included that because you can see the clear trend here in terms of computing power vs. the number of cores each CPU has.
All technicalities aside, the basic rule here is that your CPU has 2 cores, my 5-year old 4770K had 4 and my new one has 8, and the benchmarks of each one essentially double when the # of cores double. So if everything else is equal, I'd expect my new system to be able to produce your exact project about 4x faster than yours, which would be somewhere around 2:20.
In reality, my system isn't that fast. In fact, it's closer to only a 2x improvement, which tells me that your system is probably working as fast as is realistically possible.
I tried producing the clip to H.265 and H.264 using 3 different output selections, CPU-only, nVidia RTX 2070 and the UHD 630 iGPU built-in to my processor, just like your HD 620 is on your laptop. I used Profile Analyzer to create the best-matched H.265 profile (4k 30p 100Mbps) and a standard H.264 one (4k 30p 50Mbps). Here's what I found:
Format | Device | Time | Size |
H.265 | CPU-only | 5:10 | 248MB |
H.265 | UHD 630 | 4:11 | 241MB |
H.265 | RTX 2070 | 3:57 | 244MB |
H.264 | CPU-only | 4:02 | 122MB |
H.264 | UHD 630 | 4:07 | 118MB |
H.264 | RTX 2070 | 3:57 | 120MB |
On your system, using the iGPU (Intel QuickSync) option is probably the best choice when working with H.265, but somewhat suprisingly, you may get slightly better performance if you uncheck that box and only use your CPU when producing to H.264.
As I wrote earlier, you may find it faster to separate the corrections into 1 or two groups before producing, but only experimenting will tell you if that's worth the extra steps.
If and when you get to a 10 minute video, I think you should plan to just let it run overnight when you're ready to produce it...
